Avet Single Speed ReelsAvet single speed reels include industry leading features unlike any other reel on the market. Featuring an adjustable strike pre-set lever drag system, precision machined 6061-T6 aluminum and stainless steel components, 8 rubber sealed stainless steel ball bearings, stainless steel gears and Avet's smooth, powerful Avedrag dry drag system. Avet single speed reels are at the peak of quality and performance. All Avet single speed reels are available with or without their M.C. Cast control system. (except HXW)

Avet 2-Speed ReelsAvet 2-speed reels include all of the quality features of our single speed reels, with 2-speeds. The simple, yet reliable gear shift mechanism built into the 2-speed models is so easy to operate that it becomes second nature almost immediately. The push button located at the center of the handle arm permits shifting between the high and low gears without your hand ever leaving the handle knob, and can be shifted with or without pressure, so you can shift while cranking, or when a fish is running. All Avet 2-speed lever drag casting reels (SX-HX) are available with or without their M.C. Cast control system.

Avet M.C. Cast Anti-Backlash / Cast ControlAvet's revolutionary M.C. Cast (Magic Cast) adjustable magnetic anti-backlash cast control system is available as an option on all of their single and 2-speed casting reels, SX through HX, and is a standard feature on the Raptor Series Reels (excluding the HXW Raptor). The M.C. Cast control system incorporates Avet's Patented Adjustable Intensity Polar Amplification Technology to create the most efficient and easy to use cast control system for a conventional style reel. From the lightest bait to heavy lures, the M.C. Cast Control System is simple to use, even if you have never before cast a conventional style reel. Simply place your thumb on the spool to cast, swing, remove your thumb from the spool and let it fly! You will only need to thumb the spool when the lure hits the water.

Avet Raptor Series ReelsAvet Raptor Series Reels are the cutting edge in compact large game reels. These reels are consistently landing shockingly large fish in relation to their compact size. Designed for use with the ultra thin, super strong superbraid lines available today, it's now possible to target large game species with a reel half of the size and weight compared to a reel traditionally designed for similar monofilament line and drag capacities. And the Raptor has the drag and cranking power to back it up.

The Avet Raptor Series comes standard with Avet's innovative 2-speed gears, M.C. Cast control, and a ratcheting drag lever with a positive stop strike button to prevent accidental advancement past strike. Featuring Avet's patented DUAL DIRECT DRIVE Full Surface Caliper Brake System, Raptor models put out nearly twice the drag pressure of the original Avets! There's a Raptor model that will stop any fish in the ocean, yet small and light enough to cast. If you find a fish too big for a Raptor, you probably wouldn't want it near your boat! The Raptor Series reels are the same sizes as the original Avet reels, with enhanced line capacities, and each are engineered and built to fish several line classes heavier than the original Avet Reels.

So i just got my new avet reel in the mail. The packing was done by a 2 year old. The hardwear was loose in the box with nothing to protect the reel during shipping leading to scarches on the face of my brandnew 300.00 reel along with some barring noise thats not supposed to be there (may work its self out). Im a customer of tackle direct have been for a few months and have spent close to 1000.00 in the past 2 months. Everything i have orderd has been well packaged and deliverd quickly. I will be ordering my next 3 avets from avet. I gave the reel a 3 star rateing i give tackle direct a 4 star rateing and no stars to who ever packed my reel they need to be fired.

Merchant Response:That is how Avet reels leave the factory.
Also, Avet does not sell reels directly.

ProsLove avets

Great reel

I've been using this reel for about 3 years now and it's still going strong. Great amount of line capacity for its size, strong drag, and distinctive bait alarm from my other reels. Wish the bait alarm was a little louder, but can hear it fine in most conditions.

ProsLine capacity. Drag. Durability.

Great Kingfish Reel

Great reel for kingfishing. The drags are very smooth, and the 6.0 speed is great to catch up to a fish running at you. The drag adjustment can be a little tricky with the LX. It can go from very light to very tight with minor movement of the lever. This can be fixed with a drag washer change (so i hear from other sources). Once the reels get some use, this doesn't seem to be as much of an issue.

ProsSmooth drag, good line capacity, fast retrieve

ConsDrag adjustment can go from light to heaver with minor adjustment

Avet LX 6.0

This is a solid real for 30 to 50 pound mono. Works well for jigging or fishing live bait. Also a solid reel for fishing trolling and has a nice loud clicker. Great reel for under $300 and made in the USA

Best value overall for durability, performance, and price point

If you haven't used one, you should, these are bullet proof aluminum tanks... strong, smooth, great line capacity, the perfect 20-40 pound class reel, all round great. We have charter fished these reels tough and they hold up. Kingfish, sailfish, wahoo, cobia... its a great kite fishing reel too because its fast.

top notch item

purchased this item for my daughters birthday and was very satisfied at how the color came out. As a shore caster here in Hawaii we do not normally like usung lever drag reels because they never seem to free spool properly causing less distance. To my surprise I could cast this avet lx just as far as a sealine or Seagate. Have yet to test it out on a big strike but thus far has landed 20lb giant trevally and exceeded my expectations.

Prosstrong drag pressure, solid construction, simple to maintain.

Consonly problem I can see is it may be difficult for me personally to get parts if it will ever need it

Solid well built USA conventional reel

This reel was my first Avet purchase. After handling my friends new Avet SX and experiencing it's amazing freespool I had to have one. I wanted a larger LX for it's line capacity. I matched it to a (discontinued) St Croix 7'6" Premier saltwater rod that came from TackleDirect. Well balanced and a dream to use. I sold the reel after deciding it was overkill for the Lake Sturgeon fishing I used it for. Mistake! I now have some Florida fishing trips in the works and I will likely buy another. This time I will add the MC Cast feature.
I was able to fill the LX with a Mono backing and still get 350yds of 80lb braid on this reel. If you need line capacity like this, look no further. I have two other Avet models (sxj and mxl both with the MC Cast feature) and enjoy using them.

ProsSuperior Fit & Finish. Endless freespool.

ConsRubber Knob could be bigger for a more secure grip.

Great King Reel

We use these on our SKA fishing trail. We currently have ten of this model and never had one fail. Great with mono or braid. Add the king drag system and they are perfect for catching King Mackerel on the East Coast

What is the actual line capacity of this reel? People report the reel holding 300 yards of 80 pound braid.

1 Answers

Depending on what braid you use will determine the amount of yards that will be able to fit on the spool. For the most common braid, approximately 520 yards can fit on the Avet LX 6.0 MC Single Speed Lever Drag Casting Reel spool.
